Indians 4, Cubs 3: Corey Kluber and the Indians bullpen turn in another gallant effort and Ramirez hits a walk-off homer off Aroldis Chapman to give Cleveland the title. MVP: Jose Ramirez.

 

When the Indians win, Corey Kluber should absolutely be the MVP.

This bandwagon cub fan here at the office is driving me nuts. He is telling people that Tomlin is Cleveland's best pitcher and that tonight its OVER. Book it! I wonder if he will bet the house?

 

Seems he forgot about Kluber.....

 

Seriously, how many intelligent cubs fan are there compared to the amount of dumbasses who jumped on the bandwagon? Does anyone want to take a guess?

One of two things is going to happen:

 

1) The Cubs lose, and we'll be happy to see their stupid fans be disappointed once again.

or

2) The Cubs win, and their bar is set for the next five years while part of their identity dies.

 

I'll take #1, but some positive will also happen if they win.

Its not over.... HR at work just sent a broadcast message saying to wear your cub gear to celebrate the coming victory.....

 

If the tables were turned and the Sox were in the WS there would be no message saying wear your Sox gear to work to celebrate..

There are intelligent Cubs fans. The bandwagoners just far outnumber them.

I know I am not the only one that has felt like the Cubs are destined to win this entire thing. We can look at the stats and what we think "should" happen all we want but if they are destined none of the stats even matter.

I don't buy into that. "Cub Nation" all believed the 2003 team was destined to win it all.

Cleveland's 6-9 hitters are bad. I just don't see them generating enough offense to win tonight.

Cubs 6-9 haven't done too much this series either (I know I know...Russell hit a slam yesterday).

 

Edit: Actually, 6-9 and then leadoff hitter.

I'm surprised more people don't talk about this. The Cubs have had 3 or 4 automatic outs in every game but everyone still acts as though they have 9 hitters in the mix for a batting title.

Is the world going to be different if the Cubs win?

 

It seems like it would somehow have a snowball effect in other aspects of my life. Like, I will no longer be able to order my coffee served hot or we will have to drive on the left side of the road or something. These arent possibilities are they?

I could see a Cub win as a sign of the apocalypse.

    It's not too much different than the White Sox or Red Sox. 88 years... 86 years... 108 years. A long time is a long time, especially when every living fan is seeing it for the first time. But the media has their narratives, and that's all that matters to them.
